Tweet of the Day: "If you saw bad Laker defense tonight, so did Phil J: "We have to get that in order. We’ve been giving up 100 points almost all the time.”" -- Mike_Bresnahan (L.A. Times Lakers beat reporter Mike Bresnahan)

Reader Comment of the Day:"This game was a defensive flop. Most disappointing was the ease with which the Raptors penetrated the paint. The starters have not yet demonstrated they can defend the paint well enough to handle either the Heat or Celtics without Bynum!" -- ross
